The ones having heart attacks are being warned to stop eating so much fatty meat. Starch is fine.

Not even the diabetics are really being warned off of starches - just told to increase their insulin to cover it. Oh and to avoid fatty meat.

And they're all being told to cut back on sodium.

The fast food places have been pretty much forced to reveal the nutrition stats of their products, but McD's large fries still have only 23 g fat, whereas the Big Mac has 34 g fat, and the double quarter pounder with cheese has
42 g fat. The large fries have only 400 mg sodium - the Big Mac has 1050 mg sodium, and the double quarter pounder with cheese has 1360 mg sodium - Once again, the meat looks like the worst offender when it comes to their poor health. Might as well load up on those fries, maybe choose a smaller burger with less fat and sodium.

On this website, WE know that the fat and sodium are not really the problem, and that the meat itself is definitely not the problem.

But every time THEY go to the doctor, it's reinforced to them that eating too much fat is the problem, along with the sodium content.
